Pro Kabaddi auction 2026
The Season 13 player auction date has not been officially announced. Reports have suggested different windows, so treat any date you see online as unconfirmed until the league announces it. Before the auction, teams announce their retained players, and several franchises have already signed New Young Players for Season 13.
Pro Kabaddi 2026 team players list
Full squads for each team are only final after the auction. Until then, each team’s retained players and young signings are listed on the official website. Once the auction is done, we will add every team’s players list here.
Pro Kabaddi live streaming: is it free?
- JioHotstar: streamed every Season 12 match; some live sport on the app needs a subscription, so check the plans in the app.
- Star Sports on TV: included in many DTH and cable sports packs.
- Free and legal: live scores on the official PKL website and app, and official highlights on the league’s YouTube channel.
Sites promising “Pro Kabaddi live streaming free” without an official app are unlicensed and risky.
Watch Pro Kabaddi live on TV
In Season 12, every match was shown on the Star Sports Network in several languages. If the deal continues for Season 13, you will find matches on Star Sports channels through your DTH or cable package.
Watch Pro Kabaddi live online
JioHotstar streamed every Season 12 match on phones, laptops and smart TVs. Install it from Google Play or the App Store and check its plans; some sports content may need a subscription.
How to follow the Pro Kabaddi live score
- The official PKL website and app update scores raid by raid.
- Google shows live scores at the top of search results.
- The points table is updated after every match on the official site.
Season 12 recap
Season 12 ran from August 29 to October 31, 2025, with 12 teams in a double round-robin league and playoffs. Dabang Delhi K.C. beat Puneri Paltan in the final for their second title. A new five-raid shootout was introduced to settle tied matches.
Watching Pro Kabaddi live on mobile data
A kabaddi match is about an hour long, so it uses far less data than cricket. At 480p it uses only a few hundred megabytes. See how much data streaming uses.
Watch on a big screen
Install JioHotstar on a smart TV or streaming stick, or cast from your phone. See streaming on Android TV.
Avoid unofficial kabaddi streams
“Free Pro Kabaddi live” sites are full of pop-ups and fake download buttons. Stick to the official broadcaster and app. Read the risks of unofficial streaming apps.
How Pro Kabaddi works
Each team has seven players on the mat. A raider crosses into the other half, tries to tag defenders and return in one breath, while the defenders try to tackle them. Points come from raids, tackles and “all outs”, when a whole team is out. Matches have two 20-minute halves.
Pro Kabaddi teams
The 12 PKL teams are Bengal Warriorz, Bengaluru Bulls, Dabang Delhi K.C., Gujarat Giants, Haryana Steelers, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Patna Pirates, Puneri Paltan, Tamil Thalaivas, Telugu Titans, U Mumba and U.P. Yoddhas.
